Victims of the Oct. 1 mass shooting in Las Vegas have until Jan. 31 to apply for aid from a local fund, authorities announced Wednesday.

The Las Vegas Victims Fund, which raised nearly $12 million in donations alone via crowdfunding site GoFundMe, will accept applications through the end of the month. Also included in the pool of available money includes donations from the National Compassion Fund, the Direct Impact Fund and other smaller fundraisers.

Disbursement of the funds will be prioritized for families of people who were killed in the mass shooting, people who sustained permanent brain damage and paralysis as well as those who require full-time home medical care. Those who were hospitalized will also receive payment, depending on the extent of injuries.
